Foods Rich in Histamines Can Cause Food Intolerance Symptoms

Grass Allergies

Many people suffer from food intolerance, and there are many foods that are rich in histamines that can cause food intolerance symptoms. These reactions can include digestive system problems that like spasms, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain. Other symptoms can range from flatulence to headaches to skin rashes and even eczema.

Our bodies can't digest some foods that have high histamine levels because our digestive system lacks the enzymes it needs to ensure we don't suffer from these symptoms. Eating foods rich in histamines like pizza, fish, some vegetables, and some fruits can cause these often cumbersome food intolerance symptoms. Drinks like coffee, cocoa, wine, and beer also have high histamine levels.

Often people avoid these high histamine level foods to prevent reactions or symptoms, but there is hope. Our bodies need to replace the low levels of Diamine Oxidase or DAO and that is being done through a supplement now approved by the FDA - NDI. NDI is different than an antihistamine that simply blocks the problem. NDI replenishes our bodies with the DAO we need to help us tolerate foods that have high histamine levels.

Here's a good list of foods that are high in histamines that cause food intolerance symptoms:

Fish like tuna, smoked fish, sardines, canned fish, and fish sauces Pizza and sauerkraut Wine and beer including sparkling wine or champagne Cheeses Processed and smoked meats like salami, ham, bratwurst, and bacon Vegetables like tomatoes, spinach, eggplant, avocados, mushrooms, canned vegetables, and salads that are commercially prepared Fruits include strawberries, bananas, papayas, kiwi, pineapple, tangerines, mango, grapefruit, and red prunes Condiments and sauces like ketchup, mustard, soy sauce, balsamic or red wine vinegar have high histamine levels Sunflower seeds, walnuts, walnuts, cashews, and peanuts Breads that are made with yeast

Freshly purchased foods that are stored in your refrigerator actually gain a higher histamine level through the maturation process. The freshness goes down and the histamine count goes up. While choosing fresh meat is wise, anytime a meat is processed, it gains a higher histamine count. Beyond high histamine counts, foods that go through the maturation process can also cause an increase in biogenic amines.

Fresh fish that you buy will also increase histamine levels because fresh fish spoils faster. Bacteria that develops in stored or refrigerated fish can also cause high histamine levels. Any fish that is smoked or marinated will only cause histamine levels to be higher.

Instead of avoiding these foods, replenish your DAO levels with the supplement NDI. You digestive tract, especially your lower intestine will benefit from the replenished results that NDI provides allowing you to consume foods that are high in histamine levels. You can avoid the sometimes severe food intolerance symptoms by ensuring your digestive system is full of the enzymes it needs to tolerate high histamine foods. Choose foods wisely and re-energize your digestive system to reap the benefits of a healthy diet full of the foods you enjoy.
